Musée Nissim de Camondo

Musée Nissim de Camondo isn't just a museum; it's the story of a family going from happy wealth to extermination. Hidden in a quiet street, you wouldn't just bump into Musée Nissim, but if you're smart enough to plan going there, you've got a great thing coming. Especially if you're like me and sometimes dream of a time when interiour decoration was warm and beautiful, and the world simple. And a lot of other things, but let's not get into that, this is a lifestyle blog for crying out loud.
Ok, so entering the mansion/palace/dream-like abode you get a pair of headphone and you'll wear them, yes, you will, because the friendly lade on the other end will tell you the story of the Camondo family, whose youngest members all died from various kinds of wars and how the father slowly deteriorated  into depression as the years went by. If you like that kind of thing, and why wouldn't you, it's real life tragedy that doesn't involve you, then hurry along.
